  • A new study by a UK prison watchdog group reveals that gay male couples who have consensual sex are often punished and separated, making getting locked up sound only slightly less desirable.

  • I guess this is a great time for me to finally announce my entry for next year’s TechCrunch hackathon – it’s a super disruptive app called FINGERBANG.

  • Google posted a plea on their Google Europe blog asking European courts to dismiss a lawsuit filed by former Formula One president Max Mosley. The lawsuit requests that Google build a filter to identify and block what Mosley claims is unlawful content. A report on Bloomberg.com claims Mosley’s lawyers filed a suit in a French Court, asking Google to create filters that could identify and remove content referencing “Nazi-themed” sex parties in association with Mosley.
